A large, graceful sycamore in the small front yard shelters a colorful native shade garden. Planted in 2012, this 3,000 sq. ft. front and back landscape makes ample use of permeable paving to capture water onsite, decrease urban heat and create microclimates for a mix of coastal sage scrub and woodland plant communities. The native flora provides food and shelter for butterflies and birds, minimizes water use, and adds color, fragrance, and seasonal interest. Design: Carlos Flores. accessible | no restroom
